so i got bored one day and poked aroud teh interwebz... i found "DSLinux." and then i saw that there were other small distros, not many though. so. i'm on the hunt to find those tiny distros!
"mini" constitutes that the distro can fit on a business card CD (50MB).
so far i have:

DSL
featherLinux(no longer a "mini")
LNX-BBC
austrumi (not a "mini"(85mB))(untested)

post names and links, please.

I like DamnSmallLinux. It's small, uses 3 MB RAM and nearly no CPU. The image quality is bad tho lol

If you stay in the 50mb range, DSL is about the only good one.

But you can try slitaz ~25mb DSL/Knoppix based.

Or go a little bigger with Puppy ~90mb range.

or go better with SLAX ~194mb, so it wont fit on a 3.5"CD :(

that's my picks for SMALL distros.

ubuntu for full distro.
